Population: 80 patients allocated to the prevena arm, and 79 patients were analyzed: 1 patient lost to follow-up; also, 1 patient had the prevena removed early but included as an intent to treat. 80 patients allocated to control arm, with 80 patients analyzed. 6 patients did not receive the allocated treatment but were included for intent to treat

Any wound complications including but not limited to drainage, blisters, cellulitis, superficial infection, and deep infection.

Population: The number analyzed is different from the overall number because there are separate questionnaires for Hip and Knee, and there were Hips and Knees in both the Prevena and Control groups

Mean Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), Knee Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (KOOS) at 90 days postoperatively. Presented as subscores, including activities of daily living (ADL), pain, quality of life (QOL), symptoms, sports and recreation. All subscores range from 0-100, with 0 being the worst score and 100 being the best possible score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days postoperatively

Mean VR-12 scores, presented as 2 composite scores physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). Physical Component Score (PCS): Provides greater emphasis on questions about general health, physical functioning and role playing and bodily pain. Mental Component Score (MCS): Provides greater emphasis on questions about role-emotional, vitality/mental health and social functioning. PCS and MCS summary scores are standardized using a z-score transformation and normed to a U.S. population (based on a 1990 norm) of a score of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Higher MCS and PCS scores reflect better overall physical and mental health, respectively.
